Ascent Trip Report

Started from the Black Mountains Campground at 0917. Took 45 min. break approximately halfway to eat, dry feet, and change socks. Reached the summit at 1505. Three groups of day hikers passed us on the way up. Two of them were already on their way back about a mile from the summit at 1400. We were picked up at summit by car and returned to campground. Carried 30 lbs ALICE ruck and 2 Camelbaks (one in the ruck).

There is a convenience store at the summit that sells drinks and candy. A full-blown restaurant is located approx. one mile from summit, down paved road.
